This salad is amazingly delicious! I felt that the original recipe sounded slightly too high calorie so I made the following changes: - I used plain yogurt instead of the mayonnaise - no sugar - no bacon - balsamic vinegar instead of the white vinegar (that's all I had) With these changes the salad was not only delicious but also healthy!

Left out the green onions and bacon just as a personal preference and it was totally incredibly delicious!! Perfection!! I have tried several broccoli salad recipes from this website and this one is the winner, it is so sweet and wonderful!

Took the pain to blanch, sliver and toast almonds. Very good salad indeed.

Wonderful!! I only use 1/4 - 1/2 of the dressing and add in the bacon only when it is time to eat the salad. The bacon doesn't sit in the fridge well. Bacon Bits are a good alternative.

It tastes fresh and delicious. I sticked to the recipe except cut half of the sugar. The flavors of bacon, vegi, fruit and nut blended surprisingly well. Next time I will substitute yogurt for mayonnaise and cut off 3/4 sugar and 1/2 bacon, just to make it healthier. Thanks very much for the recipe!

This is a hit every time I take it to a function. Everyone wants the recipe. Must remember to bring copies with me next time I make it. I don't use as many onions, I use half of what is called for in the recipe. Other than that I wouldn't change anything. Jeannine

WOW is this dish yummy! If you love onions you will love this. The prep work does take time especially if you do not use a food processor. I will add a few less red onions next time and increase the amount of dressing just a tad. I actually thought this was delicious right after I assembeled it! It is a very hearty salad and as the other reviewers noted can be a meal in itself. I might add some chopped tart apple next time since this combination could handle that taste very well. I highly recommend this to everyone that loves all the ingredients independently. This dish is a WINNER!

What a huge hit!! I served this at a progressive dinner in our neighborhood and received lots of compliments and requests for this recipe. A little time consuming to make with all the chopping, but well worth it.
